Barry McGuire - Walked A Mile lyrics

Walked a mile with pleasure She chattered all the way Left me none the wiser With all she had to say Walked a mile with sorrow Never a word said she But oh the things I learned from her When sorrow walked with me The frost is in the valley The mountain tops turn grey The promised buds all wither And the blossoms fade away Our loving Father whispers All this comes from my hand Blessed are you when you trust What you just can't understand Walked a mile with pleasure She chattered all the way Left me none the wiser With all she had to say Walked a mile with sorrow Never a word said she But oh the things I learned from her When sorrow walked with me And after a lifetime of working Your wealth should fade away Leavin' your hands all empty And your hair starts turnin' grey Remember then our Father Owns both the sea and land And blessed are you when you trust What you just can't understand Walked a mile with pleasure She chattered all the way Left me none the wiser With all she had to say Walked a mile with sorrow Never a word said she But oh the things I learned from her When sorrow walked with me
